Akali, The Fist of Shadow is a ruthless assassin who relentlessly pursues her prey, dodging and powering through all obstacles in her way to finish the job. Thanks to her extreme offensive mobility, Akali excels at easily and repeatedly engaging on isolated targets, and her powerful single target burst lets her quickly start chaining kills if allowed to focus on single opponents. Due to her difficulty at disengaging from fights she has comitted to, however, Akali must wisely choose the moment to dive in, or else rely on her stealth and self-healing to get her out of dangerous situations.

Passive:Akali stores an Essence of Shadow periodically and upon taking down an enemy champion, up to a maximum of 3 stored at once.

Active:Akalidashes to the target enemy, striking through them and dealing magic damage in the process. The strike-through distance increases the closer Akali was to her target before dashing, and is halved against targets affected by Mark of the Assassin.

If ranked, Akali will start with 1 charge, and will respawn with 3 charges of Essence of Shadow.

The closer Akali is to her target, the greater the strike through distance. At point blank range Akali will be placed 200 units behind her target, while shadow dancing at maximum range will only result in a 100 unit strike through. Additionally, if Akali's target is affected by Mark of the Assassin, the strike through distance will be halved (50 at maximum range, 100 at point blank range).
